'Gladiator II' First Look: See Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal in Action

'Gladiator II' is slated to premiere in theaters on Nov. 22.

When the Roman army (led by Pascal's general Marcus Acacius) attacks, Lucius' new home is destroyed and he's captured and brought back to Rome to be a gladiator. The Rome he returns to is corrupt and cruel, led by two "sadistic" co-Emperors (Hechinger and Quinn), and Lucius finds his mother is involved with the very general who just destroyed his way of life in Numidia. Washington stars as a former slave-turned-wealthy arms dealer named Macrinus, Derek Jacobi as Senator Gracchus, Tim McInnerny as Thraex, and Alexander Karim as Ravi, alongside Lior Raz, Peter Mensah, Matt Lucas, May Calamawy and more.
